We are working on the Amidah including the K’dusha for Friday night. The students are doing well on the Avot, but need to polish the G’vurot and the K’dusha. Once they learn this they will be ready for the K’dusha for Shabbat Morning which is much longer.

​We are studying the Avot and G’vurot as well as the Friday night K’dusha. Next week if they have learned these prayers and can read as well as chant them we will move over to the K’dusha for Shabbat morning. This will involve extra time to learn it.Les Kushner

Summary, September 13, 2016

Dear Parents: I had the pleasure of teaching your sons today. We reviewed three prayers from Gimmel -- from the Friday night service: the Maariv Aravim, Ahavat Olam and the V'Ahavta. Aden and Noah are a little rusty so I would like them to spend 10 minutes every day listening to Carolee's CD and following along with the text. The words in Hebrew can be found as follows:
